ABOUT ME
I’m a South African-born, London-based Creative with 7+ years experience in Social Media Management and Graphic Design.
As a dual-professional, my flexibility allows me to easily adapt to a variety of roles. I do work in brand, marketing, and collateral design, including strategy development. I have worked with brands from a wide range of industries.
Following a career as a recording artist and international touring musician, music production and video editing are just some of the ways I’m able to innovate.
I am ready to chat. Please reach out to me via email at thejasonevery@gmail.com.
